SOLEM OUIS DICERE FALSUM AUDEAT ? LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 7, 1026. Frankfort Papers, received this morning, con tain no intelligence of moment. The only inte resting article is that from St. Peterbburgh, which fully confirms the statement given in the St. Pe tersburgh Journal as to the nature of the con spiracy which existed amongst the military, even Prior to the death of the late Emperor ALex- AsnEn. The following are extracts : ST. PETEMBI3IOII, JAN. I. You may believe, without restriction, what the Journal de at. Peterebourg contains. I tell you this, because people, In general, are not disposed to attach much credit to the news contained in half-official journals. The orders to the army are more detailed, but not less true ; there is, however, no transla tion of them at present, and perhaps will not be. According to the positive declaration of the new Emperor, we may hence. forward expect no more communications from the Government to the public than we have hitherto been accustomed to. His Majesty chews great activity, mildness combined with firmness, and very comprehensive views. All that approach the Monarch are full of his praise. On several occasions he has spoken in such a manner, that those who heard him were filled with de light and astonishment. M Inn c tr, JAW. 29. We hear that Field. Marshal Prince Wrede has received the commission to go to St. Petersburgh, to congratulate his Ma jesty the Emperor Nicholas on his accession to the throne. The Prince will leave Munich the day after tomorrow. The Prussian Secretary of Legation, Tornassow, died here a few days ago after a tedious illness. Roux, JAW. 8. His Holiness is still in such a precarious state of health, that he cannot leave his apartments ; but the activity of hie mind is 'still the same. The Duchess of Saint Leu has arrived here with her son Louis Napoleon. The idea of founding an Irish College at Rome in the ancient College of Umbra, appears to be entirely given up , fee t he capital which *al placed in the Roman funds, In order to defray, with the an nual interest of 12,000 francs, the expellees of the college, has been withdrawn. Last Saturday Monsignore Tragetti, formerly Delegate of Camerino, was found in his bed murdered in a cruel manner. lie Was only 30 years of age, and of a mild character. As no thing was stolen, It is supposed the crime was committed out of revenge. A servant, whom the Prelate some time ago threat ened to discharge has been arrested, and it is to be hoped , tha t if he sh ou ld h e convicted no mistaken lenity will save the cri• mina' from merited punishment.—Allgrrnesne Zeitztv,Jan.3l. BRU NSWICK, JAW. 25.. Our brave troops have lately undergone a great change in their external appearance. The gloomy black uniforms have 'disappeared. The corps of the brave Frederick William took ample vengeance in Spain and at Waterloo. The dark spirit is banished, and life and prosperity have returned with the peace which w as so impatiently longed for. Only one battalion, under the command of the brave Major Normann, retains, in eternam niemoriatn,.the black uniform with the silver emblems of death on their Shakos, which attained the caps in Spain and Sicily, the nam e of Regiment° dells Norte. All the other troops, viz. the batt a li on of the guards, the let and 2d regiments, wear now, with some slight variations, the Prussian uniform—only the guards have the immense fur caps of the Hungarian grena diers, and our artillery the helmets of the Bavarian infantry, which Are both soldier-like and handsome. But, above all, the newly raised hussars of the guard are dietinguised, who, in splendour and elegance, may be coutpared with any corps of the kind In Europe. We have little doubt but that Mr. PEEL ima sines he has done the Lawyers and the Country a world of service in the work of Consolidation in which he has been engaged. He was in his place in Parliament, last night, at it again with undiminished vigour, and, under the notable guid ance of Mr. ANTHONY HAMMOND, threatening to deluge the country with masses of law as crude and as imperfect, as unintelligible, and as ill arranged as that tr hich he proposes to repeal, and then to re enact. One practical instance is worth ten thou sand theoretical reasons, and we do not hesitate to refer to the Acts of the 6th of the King, as an example of the ill effects of consolidation, and es proof how little calculated it is to amend the Lora, and render it more clear, more easy of comprehension, and more adapted to the purposes of society. We do declare the sixth Session of the first Parliament of King Gstowsik the Fouivru to have been the most mischievous, in point of legislation, which ever sat. The Bankrupt Laws were consolidated tvtice in two successive years, and the present Act is a perfect failure. A more bungling ill- I assorted mass of wordy stuff is not to be found upon the Statute Book, not even excepting the verbose compilations of the Law-givers of the thne of Henry llth. Ridiculously particular in some trivial instances, it omits to regulate points of the utmost importance, and moreover, in every attempt, the framer of the Act made, to render his intention clear, he has succeeded wonderfully in obscuring his meaning, and shutting out every possibility of attaining to it. The Jury Law, indeed, is a specimen of a very opposite nature, and reflects the greatest credit on the gentlemen to whom this important law was en trusted. Nevertheless, what good has it effected, that might not have been done far easier and far better by an Act revising the old law, and introducing those alterations in reference to Spa. cial Juries, which the spirit of the times required, and which indeed forms the sole advantage of .he Jury Act of last Setsion. There are iudped many other specimens of Consolidation amongst the Acts of the last Sessio►►. But let us go a little backward ) let us see ) in the first in stance, what has been done with the Custom Laws. These were consolidated in the 97th, 43d, 49th, and bOth of George 3, and again in the 6th of Geo. 4, after the Act of the 59th Geo. 3 had been amended by 24 different Acts, passed during that interval. The Excise and Stamp Laws have, in like manner, met with considerate legis lators, who thought consolidation was wanting in these departments, and the Land Tax Redemption Acts experienced the same attention in the 42d Geo. 3., and yet required to be amended seven times between that and the b7th of Geo. 3. The Turnpike Acts, however, will furnish the best example of the benefits attend ing consolidation. These laws were reduced into one Act in the 30 Geo. 2, 6 Geo. 3, 7 Geo. 3, 14 Geo. 3, and 3 Geo. 4., and yet, not withstanding all these attempts, they are at this moment in a state of confusion far worse than they ever were at any former period. It would be needless to multiply instances of failure. These will suffice to chew how inadequate consolidation is to the effect intended ; and sure five are, that Mr. Pm, would do the country more ser vice if he would cease from meddling with a subject he does not and cannot understand. If he cannot revise the Law, at least he can let it alone. What has hitherto been done, has been done, en the whole, in a way no degree credit. able to him ; and the further lie goes in the matter, the more he involves his character, which must stand or fall according to the success which may attend his measure. We implore him, for he ask. of the country and himself, to desist. THE LORD Cictmckt.Lott.—The amswers given this day to the inquiries after his Lord4hip's health were, " That his Lordship conti n ued to get better." Au expectation was held out at Lincoln's Inn-hall, that his Lordship would be able to resume his duties in the course of the week. 'We fear this is a visionary idea. Mr. Monica, who went out to 'Mexico on a mission, we believe, connected ssith some dis puted points iu the treaty between that country and England, has returned in his Majesty's ship Vigilant, having left Mxico on the 16th, and Alvarado on the 2id of December. Letters of the former date have been received from the capital, in which it is stated that the Pave has addressed a letter to the Mexican President, ac cording to his gracious protection to him, and the country to the government of which he had been elected. His Holiness, it appears, is un ' willing, out of deference to the degraded FLa oisia.mn, to forego any longer those advantages held out to him by the adherence of so large a number of Catholics, who might, too, without his pious interference, be led astray into all kinds of heresy, and even be brought to allow t h e toleration of other religions. Accounts from Hammett to the Ist of January chew that the Colombian expedition known to be in preparation at Carthagena, had excited some apprehensions there. The Governor had at his disposal too large a land force to fear any attack, should it really take place ; but the consequences of a blockade were regarded with alarm, and the slave-population were known to be favourable to any change of masters by which their condition I was likely to be improved. MALTA, DEC. I.—Major-General ALEXANDER W OODFORD arrived in the Prince Regent, Co. vernment schooner, from Naples, with his family and suite ; and this flay the ceremony of swearing him in as Lieutenant-Governor of these posses sions in the absence Of his Excellency th e n ir . qwis of II --ASTINGS, took place at the Government Palace, at the conclusion of which the usual sa lutes were fired. Yesterday his Excellency Count tlooLe, En voy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of his Majesty the King of NAPLES, jointly with Mr. N. M. Rontsoimo, and accompanied by Mr. Curs. G REV:, Notary Public, cancelled and deposited in the Bank of England the amount of sixteen thousand eight hundred pounds in special bonds of the said loan, being the first half of the sum fixed for the redemption of bonds in the year 1826, including the saving of interest on the 18,300, deposited to the Ist August last.

Accumulating stocks constrain both spinners and manufacturers in almost every branch, to contract their operations ; the cir culation of money paid for wages is conse quently diminished to an extent that is now beginning to be felt severely by other classes than the artisan, and manufacturing labourer. The retail trader by whom the necessaries of life are furnished to the manufacturing poptilation, can with difficulty sustain a sinking credit—and the contagious diminution, of returns and payments, gradually ascends to the highes branches of commerce.

Extract of a letter dated Guayaquil, Oct. 31 : —" 'lshe English steam-boat Zelicu, Captain Glans, on her passage from this to Chorrillos, met with a melancholy accident off Guarmay, . on the 10th of October. By a letter from one of t h e passengers, it appears that himself and four others were on shore, when to their great surprise they saw a tremendous explosion on board the vessel. Those on shore immediately went on board, when they learnt that a Mr. Metrovich, the owner of the vessel, had set fire to the maga zine, with a cruel Intention -of destroying the lives of every one on board. When they reached the vessel, they found five of their fellow-passen gers, the Captain, and Mr. Nletrovich, dead, one missing, and three wounded. The machinery of the vessel, it appears, was not injured, neither was the vessel making any water. As yet, nothing further has transpired that can lead to any cause for such a rash act on the part of the owner." Extract of a letter from the Agent to Lloyd's at Mexico, dated Dec. 14 :—" Sire have the honour tel inform you, that having waited on the Minister of Finance, with Ilia hlajesty's Consul-General, to apply for an early reinstating of the light-house in the Castle of San Juan de Ulloa, we were informed that orders had been given for the purpose, and that in a few weeks an official communication would be made to us on the subject of General Lima, 'When the bombardment began, the whole of the excellent apparatus was taken down and preserved, so that it can immediately be refitted. The lights will consist, as before, of four revolving lamps. It is expected that in a few weeks the port of Alvarado will be wholly closed to foreign commerce."

MANURRADE.—A nother of these heterogeneous amusements took place at the Argyll-Rooms last night, and was attended with the same medley of persona, both in and out of Character, as usual ; the latter class greatly predominating, on whichever side. of the walls they might find themselves. It also exhibited the same. proof of the exotic or anti-Anglican nature of this species of diversion, as evinced in the forced mirth and constrained address of the maskers, and the absence of all intellectual enjoyment derived from their efforts (when they made any) nt mutual entertainment. Calculating, however, as experience had taught them to do, upon the want of humour amongst the guests themselves, the proprietors endeavoured, so far as they could, to remedy this defect, by sprinkling through the rooms a number of professional those may be so called whose wit lay in their heels—in the shape of opera dancers, rope dancers, clowns, harlequins, and others, who, with the aid of abundance of lively music in all quarters, con trived to impart a kind of physical animation (pour ainsi dire) to the scene, which it would otherwise have wanted. It would be useless to give any further description of an affair so similar to moat of those which preceded it. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. row— STATE or Tux ODDS.--BETTINO-ROOM, Fro. 6.
